Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Help"

A: In the provided examples the first one sounds a bit awkward, the sentences with 'it' and 'that' are both okay for both formal and informal situations.
THIS is only used when you are talking about an action or subject that is present in the current situation or time that you are present in for example if your friend is washing the dishes or fixing something that broke you can offer your help and say "i can do THIS for you" however, when you are talking about an action that can't be done immediately you would use THAT or IT. For example, if your friend asks you to babysit their kid tomorrow or anytime in the future, you would say "i can do THAT for you". Honestly, IT and THAT are interchangeable but it sometimes depends on the situation.
correction: IT can be used for both present, past and future actions but I never use it, I use only THIS and THAT.

A: "Help me out" is usually used for casual requests.
Example: Homework, carrying groceries, lifting a heavy object.

"Help me" is usually used for urgent requests.
Example: Car crash victim who's trapped in their seat belt, drowning person who can't swim, choking person who's struggling to breathe.

A: I would use the sentence "I need help to finish this report." or "I need help finishing this report." rather than "I need help for finishing this report." People would understand you, but it sounds unnatural because it is a bit wordy. Hope this helps!

A:

Help is actual act of assistance whereas aid is a noun that refers to the assistance being provided. Help is an action word which describes the act of assistance whereas aid can take any form including humanitarian, legal, monetary depending upon circumstances.

A: @HiraokaKimitake97 Hmmm, so for the first one, “got” here is technically short for “have got” which is a slang way of saying “have”. I guess this is where the have comes from there. That being said, usually when we say “I have a lot of work” or “I’ve got a lot of work” (same meaning), the tag question used is don’t. We would say “I have a lot of work, don’t I”? Have used in this question way is only for the present perfect, eg “you haven’t done a lot of work today, have you?” Therefore I think this answer is simply wrong.

2. I think fayprati’s answer here is more appropriate. You could technically say “did you” as well, but this has a different meaning. As I’m sure you know, usually these questions are in the opposite tense to the statement. “You spoke… didn’t you”. You could say “did you” as well, but this expresses some sort of dry incredulity that the action has taken place. It’s not something I would expect to have as the answer on a test like this.

5. Has the same issue as 2.

7. Now that I put in the answer, I see how it could be that, but I stand by my original statement too.

8. This one may be grammatical, but it is certainly not something anyone would ever say. Also they didn’t use different modal verbs. The ‘d in “you’d better” is short for “you had better”. It’s a strange and quirky grammatical construction, I have no idea why it’s like that

A: It think that's the British pronunciation. The American pronunciation would be closer to буи, which is probably the closest you're going to get. You could technically write "booy" to get it even closer to what you need for the last vowel (closer to й that is), but I'm pretty sure people will try to read it the same as "boy".

I don't know what GT is though.

A: 1. relies on
2. reliable
3. reliance, relying
4. unreliable
5. relies on
6. reliably
7. reliability

A: There should be a comma between steven hawking and his mother rather than a period. “they gave birth to” can be taken out. Comma between his father and frank hawking

next paragraph

years rather than life. comma between bright student and in his high-school rather than a period, take out the words “his” and “life” so it’s just “in high-school”. “In his spare time he loved playing board games and solving rudimentary mathematical equations. At the age of 16 he constructed a computer out of recycled parts.” i would change “later, he married Jane Wilde. He suffered with amyotrophic lateral schlerosis” to “After Hawking graduated he married his wife, Jane Wilde. He passed away at 76 after suffering with Amytrophic Lateral Scherosis for more than fifty years.”

next paragraph

Fellow of the royal society is a title and should be in caps and quotes “Fellow of the Royal Society” you can take out “at the age of 32” as it doesn’t belong in a list of his awards if you don’t include his age next to all of them


there should be a space between punctuation and the next word

A: I've attended football training every week (from/since) then.

A: No, here's why the sentence is structured this way:

E is more than anyone that you adore can....

then after this line, immediately the next verse is:

Love, is all that I can give you,

So he is merging two sentences in a clever way. Imagine it like this:

"E is more than anyone that you adore can love."

So instead of saying Love twice, he can say it just once, because this sentence can end with "love" and the next verse begins with "love".

So the meaning of this is "E (meaning LOVE in general) is even more powerful than the people you love and their ability to express love. He is saying that Love is so powerful, that we cannot fully express it! ❤️

A: × If you need any help, just by pressing this button, we will come your aid.
✓ If you need any help, just by pressing this button, we will come to your aid.

Very close, just missing a “to.”

A: A sounds more like "he found them, but it wasn't on the internet (he found them at a music store, or heard them live, etc.)".

B sounds more like "he searched the Internet but there were zero Korean songs there".

A: Both are fine.

A: Very good, I really wouldn't change much.

Just the sentence about dress code I would phrase as "Might I inquire as to if there is a dress code for the event?"

It has the same meaning as what you wrote, it's just fancier.

I might also rephrase "I was pleased and truly honoured..." to a slightly shorter and present continous form "I am delighted and honored to receive such an invitation to the dinner hosted by Mr ○○, and will certainly accept."
